Our analysis For military families experiencing their first holiday season apart from loved ones, the distance can be especially challenging. The inability to physically be together during this time of year is a harsh reality many military families face. Despite the distance, sending holiday cheer can help bridge the gap and bring some comfort to service members. Utilizing digital means, such as sending holiday graphics and messages, can be a meaningful way to show support and care. The Veterans Crisis Line, reachable by calling 988 then Press 1, or texting 838255, is also available for those who may be struggling with the emotional challenges of being away from loved ones during the holidays. By sending holiday cheer, military families can help their service members feel more connected and remembered, even from afar, and play a crucial role in maintaining their mental well-being during this time.
